I have come face to face with many truths from the past that had to be revised with present knowledge.

There is no greater success as when you turn your enemy into your ally.
Success comes not from having certainty, but being able to live with uncertainty.
Success involves avoiding the lure of making excuses.
Success involves going to where others believe is too far.
Fear is caused by the uncertainty of the future. Sorrow is caused by the remembrance of the past. Try to keep your thoughts in the present, for the future we will never know and the past we may never understand.
An attitude of gratitude increases abundance and diminishes fear.

The mind is the master of the soul, and the soul is the master of your universe. Learn to master your mind.
Leadership begins by asking how you can make things better?
Great leadership makes ordinary people into extraordinary people.
Be bold in life. Seize the moment. There is no surrender, no retreat. There is only conquer or be conquered, victory or defeat. Anything less is to be forgotten to history.
In the history of man, there has been and always will be more horses' asses than horses.
Do only work that matters, and you will end up pleasing those who are important enough to care about it.
There is no second place for doing first rate work.
